The LNG is sourced from the United Arab Emirates.本次交易以跨境人民币结算方式完成，交易量约6.5万吨。液化天然气来自阿拉伯联合酋长国。Yu Jin, deputy general manager of CNOOC, said that yuan settlement can promote energy trade globalization and build a diversified ecosystem for LNG trading.中国海油副总经理俞进表示，此次推动国际LNG采购以人民币结算，是中国海油对促进能源贸易全球化发展、打造LNG交易多元化生态的有益实践。"In the future, CNOOC will continue to promote innovation in the international LNG trade business model," Yu said.他表示：“中国海油将继续创新国际LNG贸易商务模式，助力国际国内两个市场良性互动。”The deal, which marks the first international LNG transaction settled in yuan, is a meaningful attempt to promote multi-currency pricing, settlement and cross-border payment in international LNG trading, said Guo Xu, chairman of SHPGX. It also provides a new channel for international players to participate in the Chinese market, helping to build a new pattern of dual circulation in China.上海石油天然气交易中心董事长、中国经济信息社副总裁郭旭表示，该交易标志着首笔以人民币结算的国际液化天然气交易，是推动国际液化天然气交易中多币种定价、结算和跨境支付的一次有意义的尝试。这也为国际参与者参与中国市场提供了新的渠道，有助于构建中国双循环的新格局。Transaction英 [trænˈzækʃ(ə)n]   美  [trænˈzækʃ(ə)n]n. 交易Diversified英 [daɪˈvɜːsɪfaɪd]   美  [dɪˈvɜːrsɪfaɪd] adj. 多样化的
